The three bottles I selected were: Commanderie de Peyrassol Côtes de Provence Rosé 2015, Mas de Gourgonnier Les Baux de Provence Rosé 2015 and Château de Pibarnon Bandol Rosé 2015. If you see good Bandol rosés from 2014 or even earlier, or bottles from other top Provençal producers like Clos Cibonne or Château Simone, try them. For the last month, we have been focusing on rosés from Provence, the region historically associated with rosé and the pastoral images it conjures. Jane Montgomery of Washington, D.C., reported that she loved drinking a Whispering Angel rosé from Château d’Esclans. Almost all the rosé sold each summer is from the most recent vintage.
